What a lovely take on our erstwhile barren landscape. Wasn't expecting a wintry lift but thanks to this depiction, I'm excited! Now if climate change would just allow our winter to play out.

"a woodpecker announcing his flight across the meadow into the woods"...my inner ears immediately recognized the sound you were referring to! Once heard, the piercing screech of the pileated woodpeckers is not easily forgotten!

Helen, I'm glad you point this out. I'm thinking right now of the call they make when the blueberries are ripe. They're generous with the berries!

Just as I feel some days and I love walking with you here. This is why we retired, and yet it seems time moves so quickly. One day I can’t wait for Spring, and the next I think I haven’t been out enough. You captured those lovely days. We get a lot of fog, more this year than ever I think. Thank you

This is true for me, too, that the seasons aren't taking their time as they used to! It's interesting about the fog. I know we've had a lot of rain this year so far, though no snow.

I found the poem, Kathleen, thank you. If I could change one word, it would be the last, to "Life".
